SOLDIERS HEADSTONES,

The fact is not generally known, even
to Grand Army men, but it is a fact
nevertheless, that under law of Con-
gress stones will be furnished by the gov
eminent for all graves of soldiers which
are not already marked, whether the
soldiers died during or since the war. All
that is necessary is for the friends to APP
ply to the termaster-generafs office,
when blanks and instructions will be
furnished.
Just at present, however, the appropri-
ations, which have been an annual feat
ure since 1879, have become exhausted,
but Congress will this winter be asked to
appropriate 100000 so it is desirable that
applications and proofs should be sent in,
to be served in their turn after the next
appropriation becomes available.
The first appropriation was to place
100000 headstones in the national ceme-
teries, and since then between $4,000 and
10000 have been furnished and erected in
other cemeteries all over the country.
The first large contract was executed by
Sheldon & Sons of Rutland, then u ,00O
were made at Dorset, some have been
made at Lee, Mass, and now Sheldon &
Sons have just completed a contract for
$780, Rutland Herald.

NOT CONTAGIOUS Pleueo.PueumoNlA.

To the Editor of the Rutland Herald
Not long ago disease appeared in the
herd of John Leonard of Benson. The
cattle commissioners were notified, APP
peared with their veterinary adviser, pro-
nounced the disease well-defined type of
pleuro-pneumonia, quarantined the town
and very properly called upon the United
States authorities for an investigation.
The agricultural department at Washing
ton sent here DIR. Mclean, an expert,
who made a thorough examination of the
cattle, dissected the only one that had
died, and killed another for the same pur-
pose. saw DR. Mclean before examina-
ton and he impressed me as being gen.
tleman in manner and one wha thorough
ly understood his business. Beside, do
not think the agricultural department
would be likely to send on so importent
a mission a man whose requirements
and experience were not equal to the
duty. Being unable to obtain any re-
liable information as to what DR.. Nc
Leans verdict was, | wrote to Washing
ton for the facts and received in reply
the following letter:
U. s. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY,
WAsHINGToN, ID. c., Nov. !, 1881
Mr.. A. E. Higley:
ult, would say that DR.. McLean's report
states that he failed to detect any signs of
lung plague in Mr.. Leonards herd OF cattle
at Benson. From what information has been
received at the bureau, my opinion Is that
the disease is not contagious pleuro -pneumo-
mia. Very respectfully,
A. NJ. HARRINGTON,
Acting Chief of Bureau.
The disease has not spread. The cattle
are getting well. Only one of Mr.. Leon
ards herd has died a natural death, two
have been slaughtered, from which l in
fer that the cattle commissioners are
twice as deadly as the disease. And still
the quarantine has not been raised so far
as | have been informed. These are the
facts-the public can draw their own
conclusions. 1t seems to me, however,
that pleuro-pneumonia is not thing to
be so specially proud of that we should
insist upon having it. A. K. HIGLEY.

The WASHINGTON FIRE ENGINE CON-
PANY,

To the Editor Of the Register -
More than forty years ago this fire
company was organized. At that time
the fire engine in use was small hand
machine, not of much capacity or force,
but at that time was considered great
stride from the use of pals, in case of
fire. The next move was to get more
forcible machine, which was procured
at the Waterford. n. Y, works, which
proved to be every way efficient in ca
pacity and force, and is still in excellent
order. At the time this engine was pro-
cured the company consisted of men who
were owners of village buildings, and
felt the necessity of maintaining good
company. This company took several
prizes at firemen's musters, and conduct
ed themselves so as to obtain the appro-
baton and good name of citizens in other
towns. This same company is in exist
ence under another name. The village
has procured new steamer and an abun-
dance of hose, a good storehouse and
various other facilities for putting out
fires: so that now the company never
was in better condition to eXtinguish a
fire when it occurs. No one is foolish
enough to expect the same efficiency
from a set of laboring men, who receive
the small stipend of So year from the
town, for meeting monthly for drilling
and business, that is seen in city COM
panies, whose time is amply paid for by
the day, fire or no fire.
At this time there are rumors afloat
that a few uneasy spirits are trying to
deceive the people by false reports. The
main movers are those who saw fit tC
withdraw from the company and at the
very next meeting presented their names
for readmission, but were almost unan
imously rejected, for inefficiency anC
non-attendance at stated meetings anC
other defects not considered necessar,
here to state.
Almost every company has its uneasy
spirits, who estimate their own abilit,
very much higher than their comrade
are able to see it. This seems to be tn
case with the effort now being made b,
some of this class, who are out in tn
cold. Under these circumstances we i'm
agine the trustees will not take any step
in the matter until the interest of tn
village is consulted. FIREMAN.
